What are the commission rates for Alamy?

 

Alamy uses a tiered commission structure for its contributors. Here's a breakdown based on the information I found:

  • Tiered System:
    • Alamy operates with Silver, Gold, and Platinum tiers.
    • These tiers determine the percentage of commission a contributor receives.
  • Commission Rates:
    • Silver: 20% commission. This is the rate applied if a contributor's gross sales are below $250 in a revenue year.
    • Gold: 40% commission. This is the starting tier for new contributors and maintained if yearly gross sales are $250 or more.
    • Platinum: 50% commission. This tier is reached when a contributor's gross sales exceed $25,000 in a revenue year, and this 50% also applies to images exclusively sold through Alamy.
  • Key Points:
    • The amount of sales in a year determines what tier a photographer is placed in.
    • There are changes to distibutor sales payouts, in that the payouts will reflect the core rate of the tier the photographer is in.
    • Exclusivity of photos has effects upon the platinum tier rates.

It's always recommended to check the official Alamy website and contributor help resources for the most up-to-date and detailed information, as commission structures can change.
